No-Bake Caramel Apple Lush has 4 amazingly delicious layers. Easy to make with a can of apple pie filling. So wonderfully creamy, it makes a delicious fall dessert.
This recipe is perfect for feeding a crowd.
4 Delicious Layers
- Graham Cracker Layer– I use cinnamon graham crackers, but you can use plain graham crackers and add a little ground cinnamon.
- Cream Cheese Layer– this layer is wonderfully creamy and rich and is a simple mixture of cream cheese, powdered sugar, and Cool Whip.
- Apple Pie/Butterscotch Pudding Layer– this layer is where the flavor really comes in. It only has 3 ingredients but really packs the flavor. You’ll whisk together a box of instant buterscotch pudding mix with 1 1/2 cups cold milk and then stir in a can of apple pie filling. The butterscotch pudding flavor is really similar to caramel and really complements the apples.
- Cool Whip Topping– It wouldn’t be a layer dessert without a cool and creamy Cool Whip Topping. 🙂
Finish it off with some butterscotch chips and a caramel drizzle for even more flavor.
Recommended Equipment
- 9×13-inch baking dish– I love to use a glass baking dish to show off the layers.
- Hand-Held Electric Mixer– I get a lot of use out of my trusty KitchenAid Hand-Held Mixer.
No-Bake Caramel Apple Lush Recipe Tip
